Dorking, Surrey, United Kingdom – 7 July 2026 – Southern Grounds Services (SGS), a professional grounds maintenance and landscaping company based in Dorking, Surrey, today announced the expansion of its commercial landscape maintenance offering to meet growing demand from businesses, public sector bodies, and property managers across the South East of England. The move comes as more organisations look for a single, dependable partner capable of managing everything from routine grounds upkeep to highly specialist outdoor environments.

Founded on the principle that "every green space deserves a future" outdoor spaces should be safe, attractive, and well cared for all year round, SGS has built its reputation on tailored commercial landscape maintenance programmes designed around the needs of each location. The company's client base spans hospitality and leisure venues, healthcare and education providers, public sector and infrastructure projects, residential developments, commercial and office properties, and a range of specialist facilities.

That specialist reach now includes some of the more unusual corners of the grounds maintenance world. SGS provides vegetation control for solar farms, helping site operators keep panels clear of overgrowth so energy production isn't compromised by shading or root intrusion. The company also carries out sensitive, respectful upkeep of cemeteries and memorial gardens, where consistency and care matter as much as horticultural skill. Industrial and logistics sites round out the portfolio, reflecting the breadth of environments where dependable grounds care is now considered essential infrastructure rather than an afterthought.

"Commercial landscape maintenance isn't just about cutting grass and trimming hedges," said a spokesperson for Southern Grounds Services. "Every site we work on has its own pressures, whether that's a hospital car park that needs to look presentable for visitors, a solar farm where vegetation directly affects energy output, or a memorial garden where families expect nothing less than quiet, dignified care. Our job is to understand what each client actually needs and deliver it reliably, month after month."

Southern Grounds Services structures its work across five core areas: core landscape maintenance, planting and bed maintenance, specialist services, infrastructure and hard landscaping, and seasonal work. This range allows commercial clients to consolidate multiple contractors into one accountable provider, reducing administrative overhead while maintaining consistent standards across sites.

For property managers overseeing several locations, this consolidation is often the deciding factor. Rather than coordinating separate commercial landscapers for each site, clients can rely on one team with a shared set of standards, reporting practices, and health and safety procedures. SGS has positioned itself to serve exactly this kind of multi-site commercial landscape services requirement, particularly for organisations in the public sector, education, and infrastructure space where compliance and consistency carry real weight.

The company's growth also reflects a broader shift in how outdoor space is managed on commercial and residential developments alike. Increasingly, clients are asking not just for tidy grounds but for outdoor environments that manage water responsibly. SGS has responded by building sustainable drainage solutions into its infrastructure and hard landscaping work, helping sites reduce surface water problems while supporting healthier planting and turf in the process.

Residential developers have taken notice too. Alongside its commercial landscape maintenance contracts, SGS offers residential landscaping services for new-build developments and established residential sites, giving homeowners and site managers access to the same standard of planting, turf care, and seasonal maintenance used on its largest commercial contracts.

"We've always believed that a housing development, a school, and a solar farm all deserve the same level of attention, just applied differently," the spokesperson added. "That philosophy is what's driving our growth. Clients want commercial landscapers who show up, do the job properly, and understand the specific demands of their site."
Southern Grounds Services works with clients across hospitality and leisure, healthcare and education, public sector and infrastructure projects, residential and development schemes in both public and private sectors, commercial and office properties, and specialist facilities including solar farms, cemeteries, memorial gardens, and industrial or logistics sites.

Organisations across Surrey and the wider South East looking to review their grounds maintenance arrangements are invited to get in touch with Southern Grounds Services to discuss a tailored commercial landscape maintenance plan.
